With 12 products relevant to estate planning, Baltimore Life policyholders need to understand how beneficiary designations control where proceeds go. These designations override a will, so the names on file with Baltimore Life are what determine who receives the death benefit.

At Baltimore Life, beneficiary designations are managed by mail and by phone. Accounts can also be linked to trusts through beneficiary designations to keep them out of probate entirely.

There are two sides to estate planning at Baltimore Life: setting things up while you're alive, and the process survivors follow after a death.
